Holidays in Lakeland

Life in the big smoke driving you crazy? Pretty sure a change of scenery would sort you out? Then whisk yourself away to Lakeland and veg out among the stunning beaches, rainforest, tablelands and desert landscapes of Queensland.

It's situated 2,200 kilometres to the north of the country's capital, Canberra.

The close-by localities of Rossville and Bloomfield are worth checking out. They're located 40 kilometres east and 50 kilometres east away, respectively. Hop in a car and find out what's happening!

Looking for something a bit more active? For a memorable jaunt through the region's landscapes, sign up for some hiking or horse riding.

If your youngest travellers need to get away from sightseeing for a while, why not slow down the pace and take them shore fishing or beach combing?

Okay, there's something special about getting lost on your travels, but sometimes you just want to reach your target on the first try. To avoid any headaches along the way, hop on some guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours.

Few things in the world marry absolute exhilaration with a sense of calm quite like sky diving. Head up into the heavens and stare wide-eyed at the phenomenal views below.

Whether you're plunging into it, drifting on top of it or whizzing across it, not much beats spending a day around the water. You can take your pick of a variety of watersports here, including swimming and snorkeling.

Check out the region's craft workshops. They are particularly good places to seek refuge in when it starts bucketing down.

If you've got some nice weather, why don't you check out the surrounding area's farms?

To truly experience a destination is to try the local food and drink, so prepare to munch, crunch, sip and slurp your way through Queensland. The only thing you need to bring with you is a hearty appetite!

Beef and bush tucker are just a couple of typical ingredients in many of the dishes here. If you don't have a liking for them already, you may by the end of your getaway!

There's always a local meal or two that you need to cross of the list, and while you're in Lakeland, salt and pepper squid is among them. Meat pie is another well-loved dish that you should keep an eye out for.

Holiday calories don't count, right? So it's an excellent excuse to indulge in some peach melba, a favourite dessert.

If you truly want to see the big pitcher, grab the hopportunity to knock back a beer. The schooner the better! Dreadful beer puns aside, make sure you try out XXXX Summer Bright Lager, one of the leading local brews.

Bundaberg Spiced Rum is the spirit of choice for many locals. Throw down a shot or two and embrace that warm glow!

Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Riverina Chardonnay are flavoursome complements to nearly any meal. You needn't be a wine connoisseur to appreciate a nice glass!

When it comes time to bid farewell, don't leave your remaining Australian dollars clanking around in your pocket. Why not buy some souvenirs as a reminder of this magnificent region?

Ready to fly home? Pack up your suitcase, set an alarm and make a plan to get to Cooktown Airport (CTN). It's roughly 60 kilometres to the northeast.
